The room was well maintained, although I chose a non-smoking room for obvious reasons I ended up getting a room that smelled like smoke. The shower and bedroom was nice, I’d recommend shower shoes as the shower wasn’t thoroughly cleaned but clean enough. Overall it was a relatively nice stay and I would come again :) The room does look like the pictures as well, so it’s still nice :)
The room was nicely updated, and the shower was fantastic. The location of the property is by a major road, so it was noisy, but I slept fine as it served a sort of white noise for me personally. If you’re sensitive to absolute silence this would not be the place for you.
My main complaint was with cleanliness. I stayed for two nights and there was no cleaning service during my stay. There were small hairs around in the bathroom and there was even a poop stain on the wall by the toilet. The room was very nicely updated though, and spacious.

My first room was a smoking room. I reserved this by accident, but I was surprised to know that places still had these. The sheets on the bed were visibly stained. (I could see the giant stain from across the room) Gross.
The front desk staff was good about getting me a different room. The front desk staff are in a bullet-proof plexi cage; which signals it's not in a safe area! The rooms have been recently remodeled, but the weird blue 'mood' lights over the bed indicated what type of motel this was. Someone pounded on my door at 2am. I stayed 1 uncomfortable night (had reserved it for 4) and switched hotels. If you're looking for a place for a one-night or one-hour stand type of thing, this is it.
Roaches in the bathroom and clump of corse hair facial or other. I have video and pictures.I was supposed to have a two day stay I asked the staff for at least a partial refund so I could move to a different hotel he said no refund but he would move us to a different room. I told him roaches would more than likely have then as well his response was “no”
The staff was sup friendly and helpful with everything I was really thankful for the 2am check in. The room was clean and everything worked just fine. I would book again. Beware of the $50 deposit on top of the room rate.
a nice location, clean. and able to open your windows.
I do recommend this property.
However, It would be nice if they have your 4-5 pillows like the hotel next door.
It was the worst experience I ever had with a hotel and the manager was disrespectful

Would not recommend if you plan to sleep
The room was good, loved the walk in rain shower. The location and property left a lot to be desired, very noisy. If you plan to get sleep it isn’t going to happen; the freeway noise and guest blaring loud music you get no sleep.
The front desk guy barely speaks English and is beyond rude. I’m one of the nicest people on the planet and he had no reason to have such a poor attitude.
